Did I call it?
Pittsburgh:Ok, so it didn't even wait until Friday's Q&A. But Rob Owen did receive a few complaints about the weather interruptions on 4/23. Despite the complaints, Owen states, "...but by now I think most viewers understand that local TV stations serve a large geographic area, and just because there's no danger of a tornado at your home doesn't mean there isn't danger elsewhere in the viewing area."
Of course, the one complaint I wasn't expecting was the unintended interruption of Fox's "24". The most intense moment was interrupted by a promo for Channel 11 News on Fox 53. According to station management, the error was human and most certainly unintentional. Be that as it may, the station may never be forgiven by Pittsburgh fans of "24".

My wife and I were watching 24 when that gaffe happened….and it was right at the absolute most pivital moment of the episode. Even though it was only interrupted for about 10-15 seconds, it as unclear how the Chinese were able to get away and Jack wasn’t able to blow up the house. Thanks Fox 53 and Channel 11. You will never be forgiven for that goof!
